INTRODUOTIOI^, 


Just  as  language  is  studied  from  examples  of  the  best  •writers,  so  music 
should  be  studied  from  the  works  of  the  best  composers.  The  song  contains 
all  the  elements  of  instruction,  and  those  elements  should  be  studied  for  the  sake 
of  interpreting  the  song.  Melody,  rhythm,  tone-production,  enunciation,  breath- 
ing, and  interpretation  are  best  studied  from  living  and  vital  songs,  and  these 
should  be  the  source  and  the  basis  as  well  as  the  object  of  instruction.  The 
song  is  the  goal.  When  the  goal  is  reached  the  race  is  over.  Hence,  the  con- 
structive elements  that  enter  into  the  song  should  first  be  studied,  the  difficult 
intervals,  the  uncommon  or  unexpected  either  in  tune  or  rhythm,  the  pronun- 
ciation of  difficult  words  and  their  musical  setting ;  all  these  things  which  are 
proper  for  drill  should  be  carefully  gone  over,  and  then  the  child  may  confi- 
dently and  successfully  attack  the  song  as  a  whole,  with  the  reasonable  hope 
of  singing  it  correctly.  He  thus  gains  confidence  and  enthusiasm  for  additional 
triimiphs. 

The  first  thing  needed  is  for  the  child  to  obtain  a  certain  amount  of  ex- 
perience in  music,  and  to  gain  the  power  to  hear  accurately,  to  exactly  reproduce 
tones  heard,  and  to  use  the  singing  voice  correctly.  This  comes  just  as  does  ths 
power  to  talk  through  imitation.  Hence,  the  first  lessons  consist  of  rote  songs 
and  of  practice  in  the  reproduction  of  musical  tones  and  of  words  applied  to 
music. 

Every  music  teacher  understands  that  this  is  the  proper  procedure,  but  it 
has  been  taken  so  much  as  a  matter  of  course  that  special  teachers  as  well  as 
grade  teachers  have  been  obliged  to  find  and  supply  the  needed  exercises  from 
every  possible  source.  The  first  part  of  this  book  covers  this  work  so  completely 
that  the  practical  teacher  will  find  everything  necessary  for  this  stage  of  instruo- ' 
tion. 

After  the  child  has  learned  to  sing  the  little  rote  songs,  to  match  tones 
with  his  own  voice,  and  to  have  a  sufficient  power  of  concentration,  the  great 
study  of  the  major  scale  should  begin,  again  through  imitation,  the  teacher 
singing  little  scale  passages  with  the  names,  which  the  child  imitates  simply  and 
unconsciously.  But  there  is  nothing  in  any  exercise  which  requires  any  par- 
ticular kind  of  names  to  be  used.  Tbe  tones  may  be  sung  doh,  ray,  me ;  one, 
two,  three ;  or  loo,  loo,  loa 


,4  INTRODUCTION. 

For  dictation  the  numerals  are  iiniversally  used,  and  the  response  may  be  as 
the  supervisor  prefers,  with  numerals  or  syllables,  or  neither.  It  will  seem 
easier  to  sol-fa  the  exercises,  but  if  that  is  the  constant  practice  sight  reading 
will  always  be  •  a  long  way  off,  for  the  real  test  of  thinking  in  sounds  is  the 
ability  to  apply  words  directly. 

Power  to  do  is  gained  by  practice  upon  new  material.  Have  the  courage, 
therefore,  to  go  forward  constantly  into  new  work.  A  few  repetitions  sxiffice  to 
make  the  work  merely  rote.  The  imitative  power  of  children  is  so  great  that 
the  teacher  must  guard  against  its  insidious  influence  by  constantly  testing  the 
ability  of  individuals.  Begin  this  in  the  primary  grades  and  keep  it  up.  Check 
the  leaders  on  whom  the  others  unconsciously  lean.  See  what  the  class  and 
individuals  can  do  while  the  leaders  are  silent. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  New  American  Music  System  to  eliminate  the  su- 
perfluous. As  an  instance,  the  quarter  note  has  been  selected  (as  is  the  general 
use  in  modern  music  )  as  the  unit  of  measurement,  and  receives  one  beat.  It 
stands  therefore  for  something  constant,  and  the  child  is  not  bothered  with  the 
useless  practice  of  giving  now  a  half  note,  now  a  quarter,  or  possibly  a  whole 
note  one  beat.  The  half  note  means  two  beats,  the  whole  note  four,  and  not 
until  he  has  mastered  the  great  facts  of  two-part,  three-part,  four-part  and  six- 
part  rhythm  is  he  obliged  to  learn  that  the  eighth  note  may  stand  for  a  beat, 
and  sometimes  even  a  half  note. 

Again  all  the  difficulties  of  key  signatures  are  deferred  through  the  use 
of  the  Key-chord  until  the  young  pupil  has  mastered  the  great  and  essential 
principle  in  staff  notation,  namely,  to  read  by  relative  position  on  the  staff 
degrees.  The  Key-chord  aids  in  this,  and  is  an  effective  substitute  for  the 
signature,  since,  practically  with  an  empty  staff,  it  locates  the  position  of  the 
tones  of  the  scale.  This  for  the  singer,  is  ah  that  the  Key  signature  acconi- 
pllshes.  After  sufficient  practice  in  notation  thus  applied,  with  the  key  note 
in  all  the  positions  found  on  the  staff,  Ahe  pupil  is  prepared  to  study  the  common 
Keys  as  they  occur  with  their  proper  signatures. 

The  work  of  the  first  part  of  this  reader  is  imitative,  and  should  be  given  by 
the  instructor  in  connection  with  the  charts.  If  the  charts  are  not  used  the 
teacher  will  be  obliged  to  make  a  thorough  and  liberal  use  of  exercises  trans- 
ferred to  the  blackboard. 

Blackboard  work  may  be  almost  entirely  omitted  when  the  second  half  of 
the  book  is  reached,  by  placing  the  book  in  the  hands  of  every  pupil.  If 
the  pupils  do  not  have  the  books,  the  exercises  must  be  copied  upon  the 
blackboard. 

While  this  introduction  does  not  attempt  to  analyze  the  book  and  elab- 
orate all  its  points,  a  few  of  them  are  more  definitely  stated  below  :  — 


INTKODUCTION.  6 

Breathing.  Exercises  in  breathing  are  of  vital  importance,  but  should  be  of  the  simple^ 
chai-acter,  and  such  as  will  not  arouse  the  child's  self-consciousness  by  calling  attention  to  the 
mechanical  means  employed.  It  is  therefore  advisable  to  cultivate  the  habit  of  deep  and  sus- 
tained breathing  as  an  incident  to  some  simple  physical  exercises.  Such  exercises  are  provided 
for  in  this  book  on  pages  18  and  19.  No  child  can  sing  well  who  cannot  breathe  deeply,  freely 
and  naturally. 

Yocal  Drill.  The  great  importance  of  producing  and  developing  the  head  tones  in  chil- 
dren's voices  is  acknowledged  by  every  expert  in  voice  production.  The  practice  of  this  must 
begin  at  the  first  lesson,  and  thereafter  constantly  and  faithfully  continue.  From  the  very 
first  exercise  and  onward  this  has  been  constantly  in  view.  Every  exercise,  every  song,  every 
isolated  phrase  has  been  designed  or  chosen  with  the  intentiou  of  developing  the  natural  and 
beautiful  flute-like  tone  of  the  head  register. 

The  Study  of  Bhythm.  The  child's  earliest  musical  perceptions  are  manifested  In  forms 
of  rhythm  ;  lience  the  rhythmic  element  in  music  is  recognized  from  the  first,  and  exercises  of 
various  kinds  of  a  purely  rhythmic  character  are  freely  interspersed. 

Training  of  the  Ear.  Ear  training  is  the  basis  of  all  musical  knowledge.  Practically  the 
first  half  of  the  primer  is  devoted  to  imitative  work,  taking  the  form  of  bright,  merry  little 
songs,  phrases  (with  and  without  words),  and  accented  examples,  thus  approaching  the  matter 
from  all  sides. 

Training  the  Eye.  By  means  of  Practice  Diagrams,  constructed  ladder-wise,  or  by  a 
column  of  tigui-es,  the  pupils  after  their  general  experience  with  the  whole  scale  make  their 
first  analytical  acquaintance  with  related  tones  commencing  with  the  interval  of  a  second,  two 
tones,  and  adding,  one  by  one,  the  remainder  of  the  scale. 

Practice-Staff.  This  is  a  staff  without  signature,  intended  to  be  used  In  conjunction  with 
the  Practice  Diagrams  for  the  purpose  of  transferring  the  numeral  work  to  the  staff  proper. 

The  Key-Chord.  The  plan  herein  adopted  of  showing  the  constituents  of  the  basic  chord 
of  music  is  a  pr;ictical  compromise,  and  a  valuable  introduction  to  the  study  of  key  signatm-es. 
The  Key-Choid  has  this  further  great  advantage :  It  shows  clearly  and  distinctly  at  a  glance 
the  location  of  the  four  more  prominent  notes  of  each  key,  and  compels  attention  to  the  siini- 
larity  of  location,  either  on  lines  or  in  spaces,  of  1,  8,  and  5,  and  the  dissimilarity  of  8.  This 
in  itself  is  a  daily  object-lesson  of  the  very  first  rank. 

Visible  and  Oral  Dictation.  Dictation  has  ever  been  one  of  the  principal  aids  of  the 
teacher.  Much  and  varied  material  is  herein  furnished,  and  a  feature  is  also  made  of  dictation 
drawn  from  the  songs,  thus  giving  preliminary  drill  in  the  matter  contained  In  them. 

Enunciation.  In  singing  this  Is  such  an  Important  element  that  no  excuse  is  needed  for  its 
constant  use  in  this  book.  The  study  of  vowels  and  vowel  quantities,  and  of  consonant  enun- 
ciation, are  of  the  utmost  value  In  singing,  and  should  receive  the  teacher's  most  careful 
attention. 

Part  Singing.  An  optional  alto  part  has  been  added  to  many  of  the  songs.  This  may 
serve  as  an  effective  aid  to  the  harmony,  If  the  songs  are  ever  used  with  the  piano,  or  may  be 
sung  occasionally  by  the  teacher  after  the  song  has  been  thoroughly  mastered  by  the  pupils, 
thus  familiarizing  the  pupil  with  music  In  parts,  a  more  difficult  form  than  the  unisonic,  teach- 
ing him  to  concentrate  his  attention,  to  tune  bis  voice,  and  to  blend  his  tones  with  those  of  an- 
other part. 


6  INTRODUCTION. 

Special  Songs  have  been  provided  for  every  month  of  the  school  year,  as  weL  as  for  vari. 
0U8  occasious.  An  interesting  melody  correct  in  form,  with  words  not  beyond  the  child's  com- 
prehension, has  been  the  standard  set. 

The  author  wishes  especially  to  express  his  thanks  to  the  many  friends  and 
co-laborers  who  have  aided  him  with  advice,  suggestion  and  criticism  in  the  mak- 
ing of  this  book.  The  essential  principles  of  The  American  Music  System  are 
retained,  and  the  changes  are  such  as  will  render  the  system  more  elastic  and 
fitted  to  meet  the  needs  of  all  classes  of  schools,  and  the  varied  requirements  of 
supervisors  and  directors  of  music  instruction  throughout  the  country. 


I.    FIRST    STEPS. 


By  the  use  of  rote  songs,  children  gain  the  ability  to  concentrate  their  attention,  to  listen 
thoughtfully,  and  to  tune  and  unite  their  voices  on  tones  of  given  pitch.  These  imitative 
processes  are  the  first  steps  in  learning  to  sing.  The  following  songs  and  exercises  are  mate- 
rial for  imitation,  to  e-ducate  the  ear,  train  the  voice  within  the  proper  compass,  and  to  arouse 
the  interest  by  pleasant  words,  tunes  and  rhythms.  Vowels  and  syllables  should  be  sung  on 
such  pitches  as  to  bring  out  the  soft  quality  of  the  head  voice,  and  constant  thought  and  effort 
should  be  given  by  the  teacher  to  secure  this  beautiful  voice  quality.  Harsh  singing  should  not 
be  tolerated  in  the  school  room.  Nos.  1,  2,  3  and  10  are  intended  to  show  the  class  teacher 
how  to  present  a  rote  song,  taking  for  this  such  subsequent  songs  as  please. 

1.     Come  with  He. 


Pupils  sing  line  by  line  after  the  teacher.     The  whole  is  then  sung  without  repeats.

3.     The  Rain. 

First  sing  the  song  as  a  whole,  then  let  the  pupils  take  up  the  text  line  by  line  and  the 
music  phrase  by  phrase  imtil  both  are  memorized.  It  is  a  good  practice  to  let  pupils  sometimes 
recite'the  text  before  the  song  is  sung.

Note.  A  chromatic  pitch  instrument  is  indispensible.  The  pitch  must  be  accurately 
given  for  all  .songs  and  exercises.  The  teacher  must  conduct  all  the  singing,  not  only  in 
songs  but  in  exercises  as  well,  using  appropriate  gestures  indicating  when  to  begin,  and 
marking  the  onward  movement  together  with  the  expression.

6.     The  Vowel  in  Singing. 

Vowels  should  be  formed  with  the  upper  and  lower  teeth  widely  enough  separated  to  in- 
troduce two  fingers.  See  Fig.  I.  While  the  shape  of  the  opening  made  by  the  lips  will  vary, 
the  teeth  should  be  kept  well  apart  for  all  vowel  soiinds.  This  assists  materially  in  the  pro- 
duction of  a  mellow  and  pleasing  quality,  and  tends  to  prevent  objectionable  thinness  of  tone  in 
such  vowels  as  6  and  5.     See  Figs.  11.,  a;  Fig.  III.,  a;  Fig.  IV.,  6;  Fig.  V.,  6;  Fig.  VI.,  oo.

Sing  each  of  these  exercises  in  one  breath.     The  change  from  one  vowel  to  another  in 
the  second  measure  of  exercises  4  and  5  must  be  made  without  interrupting  the  tone.

12.     Melodic  Groups. 

These  are  to  be  sung  by  the  teacher  for  imitation  by  a  pupil  or  pupils. 

Individual  Singing  : —  The  real  progress  of  the  work  can  be  judged  ouly  by  the  ability  of 
individuals.  Hence  the  endeavor  to  have  each  child  sing  alone  should  be  made  from  the  outset. 
As  often  as  possible  let  each  rise  and  sing  some  of  these  imitative  groups,  or  a  line  or  a  stanza 
of  a  song,  the  scale,  etc.  This  practice  should  be  continued  with  several  different  pupils  every 
day.

II.    BREATHING   EXERCISES. 

In  children's  singing,  breathing  exercises,  although  important,  must  be  of  the  simplest 
character.  The  attention  of  the  child  should  not  be  directed  to  the  mechanism  of  breathing, 
but  he  should  do  something  that  involves  the  act  in  a  perfectly  natural  manner. 

Each  lesson  may  begin  with  .some  variety  of  the  following  exercises: 

A.     The  Breath  of  Imagination. 

1.  The  smelling  breath.  Breathe  as  if  smelling  a  beautiful  flower ;  hold  the  breath, 
retaining  the  perfume;  let  it  go  with  a  sigh.     Smell  again,  letting  the  breath  go  slowly. 

Change  the  (imaginary)  flower  at  each  lesson.  The  object  may  be  anything  that  has  a 
pleasant  odor,  an  orange,  for  instance.  Let  the  children  play  at  holding  it,  raising  it  to  the 
nose  and  inhaling  the  perfume.  The  breath  will  be  drawn  in  with  a  slightly  audible  sound, 
but  not  with  a  sniff.  During  singing,  however,  breathing  must  be  noiseless,  the  breath  being 
taken  through  the  slightly  opened  mouth  as  well  as  through  the  nose. 

2.  The  breath  (a)  of  sympathy,  (b)  of  love,  (c)  of  sorrow,  (d)  of  joy,  (e)  of  anger,  {  f) 
of  defiance,  (g)  of  politeness,  etc. 

The  ingenious  teacher  will  be  able  to  enlarge  upon  these  ideas,  giving  the  children's  im- 
agination and  fancy  full  play. 

B.    The  Measured  Breath. 

At  a  given  signal  the  children  should  rise  noiselessly,  stand  in  straight  lines,  weight  on 
the  balls  of  the  feet,  heads  up,  chests  high  and  forward,  arms  at  sides.  Fig.  VII.  The  teacher 
should  stand  before  the  class  and  give  the  exercise   for  imitation  by  the  pupils,  raising 


Fig.  VII. 


Fig.  VIM 


the  left  arm  when  pupils  raise  the  right,  etc.  Pupils  will  raise  ( 1 )  the  right  arm  (while  the 
teacher  counts  1,  2)  to  a  horizontal  position  from  the  shoulder,  Fig.  VIII.,  inhaling  the  breath 
with  slightly  audible  sound  through  the  nose  ;  retain  breath  one,  two  or  three  counts  ;  exhale 
through  three  counts  while  lowering  the  arm  slowly.  ( 2 )  In  the  same  way  inhale  raising  the 
left  arm,  Fig.  IX.     (3)  Repeat,  raising  both  arms,  Fig.  X. 


Fig.  IX. 


Fig.  X. 


:rz3J^ 


Rxhalation  may  be  varied  as  follows : 

( 1)  Prolong  through  several  counts  or  beats  the  consonant  sound  either  of  sh,  s,  f,  th,  2k, 
I  /.,  m,  n,  or  1.  Other  vocal  consonants  may  be  used  or  combinations  of  them,  as  f-th-f,  sh. 
8  sh,  taking  a  diffea?«it  one  every  day.     The  teacher  mast  give  the  model  for  these. 

(2)  Prolong  on  c  {third  space)  or  d  {fourth  line)  in  the  light,  flute-like  tones  of  th« 
head  voice,  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  6,  oo,  a,  a,  ee,  separately,  or  in  combination,  as  oo-a, 
0-ce,  oo-5-a,  e-a-a-6oo,  tlie  pupils  watching  the  teacher's  mouth  for  the  vowel  changes.

IV.    SCALE   REPRESENTATION. 

When  the  pupils  have  learned  the  numbers  from  1  to  8,  and  reversely  from  8  to  1,  the 
teacher  should  explain  that  these  are  the  number-names  of  the  scale  tones,  and  that  do,  re, 
mi,  etc.,  are  called  singing  names ;  that  when  they  are  told  to  sing  any  number,  or  when  it  is 
pointed,  they  are  to  sing  that  tone,  using  either  the  singing  names,  or  the  numbers,  or  lo,  loo 
or  some  other  neutral  syllable. 

The  numbers  may  then  be  placed  in  a  vertical  column  (Fig.  XL)  on  the  blackboard,  or 
upon  the  steps  of  a  ladder  (  Fig.  XIa.),  as  below.

Hand  Signs. 

The  finger  or  fingers  (Fig.  XII.)  may  also 
be  used  to  indicate  the  tone  to  be  sung.  Later 
the  hand  staff  may  be  employed.

When  the  pupils  have  learned  to  sing  the  scale  accurately,  they  must  continue  to  practice 
It  with  lo,  loo,  no,  koo,  0,  oo,  a,  a,  etc.,  as  well  as  with  the  singing  names,  using  the  latter  as 
sparingly  ks  possible.

The  Pause  ( '^  or  vf )  indicates  that  the  tone  must  be  prolonged. 

The  keynote  or  tonic  of  all  exercises  not  in  staff  notation  is  indicated  thus:  1  =  d 

The  letters  above  the  third  line  of  the  staff  are 


marked  thus:  c'  d'  d'i?  e'  etc.

53.     Oral  Dictation  and  Ear  Training. 

The  scale  relation  of  musical  sounds  is  the  chief  problem  to  be  taken  up  in  every  lesson. 
It  should  be  presented  in  various  forms  in  order  to  retain  the  interest  of  the  pupils  auJ  to 
aid  them  in  the  mastery  of  the  subject.  Dictation  (oral  and  visible)  and  ear  training  are 
very  important  exei'cises  and  should  be  part  of  the  daily  practice. 

In  oral  dictation  a  group  of  numbers  are  given,  as  8  7  8,  to  which  the  pupil  sings  lo,  loo,  or 
some  other  neutral  syllable. 

Through  ear  training  the  pupil  recognizes  tones  from  hearing  and  names  them.  Thus,  a 
small  group  of  tones,  as  1  2  1,  is  sung  with  lo  or  a  and  the  pupil  (  a )  sings  the  same  with  sol- 
fa  names,  (b)  gives  the  numbers,  or  (c)  writes  them  down.  Ear  training  should  always  be 
combined  with  dictation  and  all  groups  dictated  should  also  be  recognized  from  hearing. 

For  these  exercises  always  use  related  tones,  not  isolated  ones.     Long  groups  may  be 
subdivided  into  shorter  ones  as  desired.

VI.    THE   STAFF. 

The  Staff  I  j  is  a  device  for  the  representation  of  scale  tones.     Each  line  and 

space  is  called  a  degree,  and,  taken  consecutively,  they  represent  the  tones  of  the  scale  taken 
in  regular  order.  The  scale  may  begin  on  any  degree,  reckoning  from  1  upwards,  or  8  down- 
wards. 

Notes  are  characters  that  show  the  relative  length  of  sounds,  and,  placed  upon  the  staff 
degrees,  they  also  denote  the  pitch  of  the  tones. 

114.     From  Numerals  to  the  Staff. 

1.  Place  the  following  groups  of  numerals  upon  the  blacklward  and  let  the  pupils  sing 
the  same. 

l^e.   1111     1121     1221    1211    1233 

2.  Draw  a  staff  immediately  beneath  them,  thus':  — 

1  =  «.   1111    1121    1221    1211    1233 


3.     Sing  the  exercise  slowly  and,  as  each  tone  is  sung,  write  its  musical  sjrmbol  upon  the 
staff,  using  the  quarter-note,  thus:  — 

l=e.  111111211221 


^^^^^^^'^- 


4.  Repeat  the  exercise  group  by  group,  pointing  to  the  notes. 

5.  Erase  the  numerals  and  smg  from  the  notes.

The  Practice-Staff. 

Fig.  XXIII. 


By  assuming  the  position  of  1  we  may  sing  from  the  practice-staff 
by  simply  pointing  to  the  degrees,  the  pointer  taking  the  place  of  notes. 

The  Key-Signature  indicates  which  of  the  fixed  pitches  {abode 
f  g  )  is  taken  for  1. 

Key-signatures  are  difficult  for  a  child  to  remember,  and  since  the 
real  problem  is  to  read  with  the  scale  now  in  one  position  on  the  staff 
and  now  in  another,  the  study  of  signatures  may  well  be  postponed  until 
this  first  problem  or  principle  has  been  mastered,  provided  the  location 
of  1,  etc.,  is  fixed.  This  may  be  done  by  writing  a  figure  under  the  first 
note,  or  by  a  device,  a  Key-Chord,  which  locates  1,  3,  5,  and  8  at  the 


beginning  of  the  staff,  thus  :  — 


-.    This  shows  at  a  glance  the 


position  of  the  tones  in  the  great  basic  chord  of  music,  viz.,  the  Tonic 
Chord. 


Note.  All  examples  having  a  Key-Chord  are  to  be  sung  from  the  notes.  Examples  with 
the  usual  Key-Signature  are  to  be  sung  by  rote.  In  all  exercises  with  the  Key-Chord  the 
pitch  is  assumed  to  be  the  same  as  with  the  G-clef . 


118.     Exercises  for  Practice-Diagram  and  Practice-Staff. 


If  no  charts  are  available,  enlarged  copies  of  Figs.  XXII.  and  XXIII.  should  be  placed 
upon  the  blackboard.  These  and  similar  exercises  are  first  to  be  pointed  upon  the  Practice- 
Diagram  and  then  repeated,  group  by  group,  upon  the  Practice-Staff.     Before  pointing  them 

upon  the  latter,  the  proper  Key-Chord  /  5  6  \  should  be  placed  at  the  beginning  of  each  staff 
as  a  key -signature.  \  ■  1  / 

Any  of  the  following  neutral  syllables,  loo,  too,  doo,  koo,  pro,  t5,  ah,  pa,  law,  pra,  ta. 
etc. ,  may  be  freely  used  for  vocalizing.

VII.    2-PART   RHYTHM. 

135.     Birds  are  Singling* 


Birds 


are       sing    -     ing,      bells 


are 


ring 


ing. 


1.  The  pupils  learn  the  very  simple  song  "  Birds  are  singing,"  strongly  enphasizing  the  loud 
and  soft  accents.  Judicious  questioning  should  draw  out  from  the  pupils,  expressed  in  their 
own  language,  the  fact  that  certain  syllables  were  loud,  others  soft,  and  that  these  loud  and 
soft  tones  came  in  regular  order. 

2.  The  song  should  then  be  copied  upon  the  blackboard  with  key-chord,  accents,  words 
and  the  measure  or  rhythmic  words  loud,  soft,  but  without  bars,  thus : 


i

Birds 
loud 


are 
soft 


sing 
loud 


soft 


bells 
loud 


are 
soft 


ring 
loud 


ing. 
soft 


3.  After  it  is  sung  from  the  blackboard,  explain,  that  in  order  to  clearly  show  the  position 
of  the  loud  and  soft  accents,  a  vertical  line  called  a  bar — here  the  bars  are  to  be  drawn  —  is 
drawn  through  the  staff  dividing  the  notes  into  grouns  or  sections  of  loud  and  soft  tones.  The 
pupils  then  observe  that  all  notes  immediately  after  the  verciutu  lijie  or  bar  are  loud  tones,  and 
all  notes  immediately  before  the  line  are  soft  tones.  The  class  will  conclude  that  the  use  of 
the  double  bar  is  to  mark  the  end  of  the  song  or  the  exercise. 

From  bar  to  bar  is  a  measure. 
The  double  bar  marks  the  end. 

136.     From  Numerals  in  Measures  to  Notes. 

An  alternative  plan  of  presenting  2-part  and  other  rhythms. 

1.  Proceed  as  in  the  corresponding  section  of  135.

The  pupils  should  recognize  that  the  tones  on  the  words  "go,"  "fro"  and  "row"  were 
longer  than  those  on  the  other  words,  and  that  they  were  sustained  while  saying  loud  soft,  or

Where  each  sustained  tone  is  equal  in  duration  to  two  quarter-notes,  it  is

IX.    THE  TIME-SIGNATURE. 

The  figures  placed  on  the  staff  at  the  beginning  of  each  exercise  or  song  are  called  the 
Time-Signature. 

The  upper  figure  denotes  the  number  of  parts  or  beats  in  the  measure,  and  the  lower  fig- 
ure indicates  that  the  quarter-note  receives  the  beat. 

The  pupils  may  beat  the  time  in  the  following  songs  by  quietly  tapping  the  desk,  or  the 
right  edge  of  the  opened  book,  twice  in  each  measure,  using  the  right  index  finger,

This  song  should  be  sung  with  the  loud  accents  exaggerated.  The  pupils  should  recognize 
that  the  first  note  was  soft  (  unaccented ),  the  next  loud  followed  by  two  soft,  etc.  The  pupils 
should  then  apply  the  measure-words  and  in  so  doing  they  will  note  that  the  song  began  upon 
the  unaccented  part  of  the  measure.  In  these  and  similar  examples  the  fact  should  be  recalled 
that  the  loud  accent  comes  directly  after  the  bar.

XV.    EXERCISES  AND   SONGS   FOR 
SIGHT-SINGING, 

In  the  following  exercises  and  songs  the  key -signatures  are  given  for  the  purpose  of  accus 
toiuing  the  pupil  to  their  appearance.  The  signatures  need  not  be  studied,  however,  as  the 
pupil  is  guided  by  the  figure  beneath  the  first  note  which  indicates,  as  the  key-chord  did  in 
previous  exercises,  the  position  of  the  tonic  or  uo.
